Brian Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Hello. I was just wondering about some side effects I've had on Effexor. I began taking it for a suicidal depression about 4 months. It's helped me a lot. I take 300mgs XR. However I've been experiencing a lot of mood swings. I also feel very sped up midday. Not so much physically, but mentally. It's hard to describe, just wondering if anyone else has had this side effect? I also get a lot of dizziness. I kind have want to go a little lower on the dosage but I'm scared of the depression coming back so I probably won't. I probably still am depressed, maybe that's causing my mood swings. For ex-users How long did Effexor work for you before you stopped taking it if you did indeed stop it? Why did you stop taking it? Anyways, thanks for responses.

mynameisiforgot Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I'm on effexor 150mg, and i've been on it for about 5 months. I don't even feel it does anything to me, i've gone off it a few times and had horrible withdrawal symptoms, and I was very aggitated. I guess it does help.
